The Festival of Books~ 2016.


Every year, USC holds a free event called the "Festival of Books." 


As we went to look around, performing at the USC stage was the USC cheerleaders and marching band! I was very awed at their performance~ They were very funny in their gestures too xD




After walking for a bit, we sat down on a bench that had this beautiful vase on it! I love flowers~ :3


The LA times were giving away these cards! I will be sending them to my penpals :) It has pictures (I'm guessing) of different places in LA :)






In the festival, many tents were set up in which books or cool stationary things were sold! :) I really wish I would have brought more money! I only bought a sheet of stickers TT^TT

There were also different companies giving away free things such as smoothies, drinks, and comic books. I'm always a sucker for free things so I scavenged the whole festival looking for some freebies hehe.



People were able to write down their favorite song on this canvas.


Of course, Infinite "Be Mine," will forever be my favorite hehe.


At another stage, (called the LA sound) there was a band that performed some of their songs. I never heard of this band before and the singer said that they won a contest that the LA times were holding. Their music was different but very catchy~ I was very mesmerized when one of their songs were in Spanish. It was very beautiful~ 






This was the Spanish area inside the festival. Popular health advocate Claudia Molina, came to talk to the audience about her health tips and habits~ She was also signing her own books for the fans. The book is called "Jugosa y Fit," and I'm thinking of buying it ^^


After being almost all day at the festival, me and my siblings decided to go to the rose garden and science museum next to the university.




The roses in the garden were so beautiful! I saw speckled roses, purple roses (my favorite) and these roses. Different shades and colors :3



I had so much fun during and after the festival~ The museum closed early so we were there until they kicked us out hahah. Next year, I am thinking of volunteering for the festival! And this time, I'll bring some money with me xD
